If you do IRC, consider joining the channels.
They are all part of the [https://matrix.to/#/#swh-space:matrix.org '''#swh-space:matrix.org'''] Matrix space.


You will be asked to create a Matrix account if you don't have one yet.


== IRC authentication ==
Software Heritage deprecated their former [https://libera.chat libera.chat] IRC channels on 2023-12-08, but added a RelayBot to relay messages between Matrix and IRC, later the bot was due to be removed, but that ended up not happening.
 
You should register their nick with NickServ using:
 
/nick <USERNAME>
/msg nickserv register <PASSWORD> <EMAIL>
 
You will then receive an e-mail containing a link to activate you account. After doing so, you need to configure your client to auto-authenticate. The recommanded way of doing that is using [https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl SASL authentication].
 
For Weechat:
 
/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_username <USERNAME>
/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_password <PASSWORD>
 
== IRC access list ==
 
To auto-voice people with a registered nick (only doable by people with +fA access modes will be able to do it), add them to the channel access list:
 
/msg chanserv access #swh-devel add zack +V
